It’s a beautiful peaceful retreat for city dweller!! Genie’s place has a lovely big garden with various tropical blossoming trees and flowers, as well as a pond with working fountains. The garden feels very naturally blended in with the houses. As someone who lives in an apartment in a high rise building, it’s just so refreshing to live in a house surrounded by trees and flowers. I even saw a chameleon on the bauhinia tree outside my house, how adorable is that!! :)
I’m a single (girl) traveler and I get scared easily, but I felt perfectly safe staying in an individual house, knowing the guard of the property is nearby to help and I just know it’s a safe place out of instinct.
The location is not close to subway/skytrain but taxi and tuktuk are always available, to further away places like Asiatique or Icon Siam is only less than 100Bhat by taxi and less than 15-20 minutes ride, not to mention the much closer-by Grand Palace and other attraction sites.
And the breakfast! Trust me you will enjoy it, very tasty and alway more than you can eat! With freshly ground coffee from its own Orangery Cafe. It just saves lots of time and effort to think about what and where I should go for coffee and breakfast and the whole excursion/scavenge. It’s a very wise move to include coffee and breakfast, super value and great hospitality!
I can’t wait to go back!!!
